Lyrics and translation 斉藤由貴 - 追い風のポニー・テール

追い風のポニー・テール

振り向いた瞬間に キスをした
気持ちを試しただけ
でも心は とっくに恋
止まらぬ速さよ

次の朝 もう荷物まとめてた
今すぐそばにいたい
同じ駅を使える部屋
急いでさがした

恋がどうなるか 何も判らない
でも走りたい あなたへとまっすぐに
いつも逢いたくて すぐに逢いたくて
追い風にせかされて
駆け出した ポニーテール

突然のさよならに鳴き出した
おととしのせみしぐれ
なんて近い 帰り道なの
はじめて くやんだ

髪を切って ひとりの夜
泣いたわ 思いきり

恋がどうなるか 何も考えず
ただ走ってた あの頃が切ないね
もしも逢えたなら いつか逢えたなら
新しい幸せと
アドレスを伝えるわ

Ponytail on the Tailwind

I kissed you the moment you turned around,
Just to test the waters.
But my heart had fallen for you long ago,
At an unstoppable speed.

The next morning, you had already packed your bags.
I wanted to be close to you right away.
I rushed to find a room near the same station
Where we could meet.

I don't know what will become of our love,
But I want to run straight to you,
Always yearning to meet you, to hold you close.
Driven by the tailwind,
I set off running, my ponytail streaming behind me.

I burst into tears when you said goodbye so suddenly,
Like the cicadas' chorus of the year before last.
Our paths were so close,
For the first time, I regretted letting you go.

I cut my hair and spent lonely nights,
Crying my heart out.

I didn't think about the future of our love,
I just ran towards it. Now, I feel a pang of sadness.
If we ever meet again, someday in the future,
I'll tell you about my new happiness,
And give you my new address.
